Gu Wei’s characterization is perfect. His character is straight laced but unintentionally funny. And there’s more to him than meets the eye. There’s also this undercurrent of sadness. I’m really excited to find out why. I know some passerby’s were curious over it being his first modern drama. But he knocks it out of the park. Xiao Zhan is perfect in the role. 😍
Just finished episode 1 on WeTV and I’m honestly so happy! It was great! Really living up to the hype like I can’t believe it. The pacing is great! The chemistry is amazing! The acting is on point! I watched the whole episode with a big smile on my face. Xiao Zhan is perfect as Gu Wei. I honestly can’t get enough! 🥰
The anticipation for this drama is through the roof! The drama air date announcement shot up to #1 on Weibo and is currently trending #16 worldwide on Twitter. And this is just the air date. Imagine when the first episode gets here. The numbers it’s gonna pull. Insane! 😍
I’ve tried to stay positive but I’m losing patience. Can’t Tencent and all the investors of the drama sue Hunan/Mango for holding it hostage? I’m so over it!
Today is the 3rd anniversary of The Oath of Love supertopic on Weibo. The drama supertopic has 1.3 million members and over 5.8 BILLION reads. HunanTv is fu@kin stupid for sabotaging a hit money maker. I can’t wait for their license to expire.
Please don’t say . Their license is getting over from last 6-7 months. If it’s true then it’s expiring very…
Their license has always been rumored to end in 2022. It’s just no one really knows which month. I’m hoping it’s March bc I want the drama to air before The Longest Promise. 🙏🏽
Just stopping by to say that the rumor is that HunanTV’s license for this drama expires in March/April. So we can expect it to air some time after that. 😅
What a GREAT project Xiao Zhan chose. I read that the director and producer and the whole team is top notch with great works under their belts. This is the kind of drama that will get critical acclaim and with Xiao Zhan’s incredible acting this is gonna be a hit for sure. Can’t wait!
Welp. Just finished episodes 20 & 21. Xiao Zhan does it again! Just when you think he can’t outdo himself, he surprises you with another brilliant performance. Episodes 18-21 have been my favorites of the drama so far. Brilliant writing. Brilliant screenplay. Brilliant action scenes. And of course brilliant acting. Gu Yiye continues to command the best scenes of the drama. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s episodes.
I finished episodes 18 & 19. And I won’t spoil anything but I want to talk about Xiao Zhan’s acting. It amazes me how much he has improved in so little time. His acting improves with every new character he breathes life into. Sometimes people tell me I’m biased but honestly speaking, I will not follow an actor for his pretty face. He has to capture my heart with his characters and Xiao Zhan does that. I’m not someone who’s easily pleased. The actors I’ve followed my entire life are actors like Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Meryl Streep. And tho I don’t yet put Xiao Zhan at the same level as these acting Titans with decades of works, I think he holds his own. I really cannot wait to see what he has in store for us with The Longest Promise because every critic that has seen ADLAD claims that he has improved by leaps and bounds. And if he’s already THIS GOOD with Gu Yiye, I can’t imagine how much more he’s improved. What an actor!
